17 Dating Blogger: "My Ex Is Tweeting Lies"

From texting feuds to terrible tweets, Seventeen dating blogger Isabelle realizes that there's no such thing as a clean break.

Before my breakup with Robbie, I never would have considered him to be confrontational or a drama-starter. We hardly ever argued and when we did, I was usually the one to start it. But now, I'm seeing a completely new side of him. It seems like Robbietexts me even more now than he did when we were together. One of his biggest complaints is that I'm "taking" his friends. After being together with Robbie for over a year, we have a lot of mutal friends. It made me wonder, does breaking up with Robbie mean breaking up with his friends, too? Some of my friends were technically friends with Robbie first, but they mean a lot to me. I'm really struggling with knowing who I can and can't hang out with.

But my ex encounters haven't only been through text. Robbie is involved in an organization on campus that picks people up from parties and drives them home. Cabs are expensive and my school wants to make sure everyone gets home safely. Last weekend, I was at aparty with my guy friend and we called the car company. I had no idea Robbie was working that night, so when he pulled up to pick us up, my heart sank. The car ride home was one of the most awkward 15 minutes of my life. Robbie clearly thought I was interested in my guy friend and kept making sarcastic comments, like that he hoped we had a "fun time together" at the party. I felt so furious at his behavior, that I didn't say a single word.

The next morning, I woke up to several texts from my friends asking if I had seen something Robbie tweeted. In less than 140 characters, he had succintly made i seem like I had specifically called the car company for a ride just to rub it in his face that I was seeing someone else. That's not even remotely true! I texted him saying he was wrong and asked him to delete his tweet, but he refused. I was so tempted to tweet my own comment back or put up a Facebook message about it, but I resisted. Now, I'm glad I didn't react in the heat of the moments and start drama for everyone to see.

The first few days after Robbie and I broke up, I felt extremely sad, but I've entered a new phase in moving on: feeling furious. I never expected to have ex drama with Robbie. Now, I'm just wondering what will happen next.
